Decorations

Decorating for a construction and transport party is easy! You will want lots of caution cape and caution signs inside and outside your venue. It's perfect for exciting the little ones, and so easy to do. Featured Image: Catch my Party Caution signs that read 'party ahead!' are also a lot of fun, and can help guests easily find your venue. At the dinner table, a tool box filled with cutlery is a lot of fun. Pair with themed plates and cups for a coordinated look.

Games

There are a wide range of different games to play at a construction party. So whether your kids love being loud or prefer quiet activities, you're sure to find something they will love. Here are a few of our favourite ideas: Cone Toss Put a twist on the classic 'Ring Toss' by throwing your rings onto construction cones.

Colouring In Print off some colouring in sheets of popular construction items, such as transport vehicles, and have the kids colour them in whilst waiting for their food! Excavation Sand Pit Hide mini vehicles or construction signs in a sandpit, and have the children search for them! Whoever can find the most quickest, wins a fun prize.

Construction Party Food

For your food, there are so many ideas that are fun AND delicious! Savoury Snacks Your savoury food can just be your average pizza and chips! Make sure to have a range of different sandwiches available. You may also want smaller nibbles, such as crisps or nuts. Featured Image: SNL Parties Put fun signs on your different food items for a finishing touch. Desserts Get creative with your desserts! There are so many delicious desserts to try. You can get creative with your names - donuts become tyres, rocky road can become boulders or bricks, and grapes are wrecking balls! Orange jelly is also a lot of fun, and adds to the cool construction theme. Featured Image: Fab Everyday We are loving this cake as it is so easy to make! Simply create a tasty chocolate cake, cover with crushed oreos to look like dirt, and add toy vehicles for the perfect finishing touch. Alternatively, cupcakes with construction toppers are an easy option.
